About Sara
Sara Schwab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice, community mental health settings, and as a coach. Sara focuses on practical changes that help people manage stress, anxiety, attention differences, and parenting concerns.
She aims to build simple routines and systems clients can use each day. Sessions often center on small, concrete steps such as organization strategies, sleep habits, or short skills practice.
Background and approach
Progress is tracked so people can see what helps and where to adjust. Sara blends creative problem solving with measurable tools. She uses straightforward tracking and regular check-ins to help people notice improvements and stay motivated.
The tone in sessions is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on solutions that fit a person's life. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including self-esteem, relationships, intimacy-related issues, addictions, bipolar and depression, and coping with life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and parenting challenges.
Sara offers guidance for those navigating autism or Asperger syndrome and for people facing midlife shifts. She speaks English and practices in Missouri. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and online access
Two evidence-based approaches often used in practical counseling are skill-building therapy and coaching-informed strategies. Skill-building therapy breaks concerns into teachable steps such as organization, sleep routines, or anxiety coping skills to practice between sessions; it helps when you need concrete behavior change. Coaching-informed strategies focus on goal setting, accountability, and creating daily systems that increase consistency and follow-through for attention or parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with tools like tracking and homework. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan over time so the approach fits daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when internet quality varies, live chat can be a short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing communication and brief reflections. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and let people use the way that feels most manageable for them.
